Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy New Year and Happy Feast Day!

Today, January 3rd, is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. We are blessed to be members of the province that honors Jesus’ Holy Name. To be called to membership in this great province is not only a blessing, but a responsibility.

Our culture has the common practice of taking the name of Jesus in vain every day. The Lord hears this offense throughout the world and in innumerable ways. Together, let’s repair for these offenses, and bring joy to our Saviour’s heart, by reciting the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (see link below).

May the Holy Name of Jesus be praised!

Have a healthy, happy and holy 2022.

God bless you always,

Denise

Join us for all-night Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to end abortion beginning at 7 PM on Tuesday, November 30 until 5:30 AM on Wednesday, December 1. By signing up for an hour (or two!), you’ll be joining Catholics across the country in Eucharistic adoration on December 1, when the Supreme Court hears the landmark pro-life case, Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health. Please note the doors will be locked so knock on the glass door at the side entrance to be let in! Sign up here or call 503-235-3163.

Many of you probably already got this email but I wanted to pass it on as this is a very important event for those of us who are concerned about the sanctity of human life at all stages. I think 8:00 p.m. eastern would be 5:00 p.m. our time.

Subject: Nov 18: Join Thousands in Prayer

‌ ‌ ‌ Next Week Pray for Dobbs: Historic Online Prayer Event Thursday, November 18 at 8:00 PM (EST) REGISTER Abortion takes the lives of over 600,000 babies per year in the United States. The upcoming Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is our greatest opportunity in a generation to change that. This is the case that could overturn Roe v. Wade—the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in all 50 states. Join this historic online gathering bringing together Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. Together, we will pray for a just outcome that protects millions of pre-born babies and their mothers. Jesus says, “where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18:20). Join us! ‌ ‌ *Registrants will receive periodic updates on the initiative.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you are all doing well!
The Blessed Fra Angelico Chapter in Modesto is inviting you to virtually attend their Advent Retreat on Saturday, December 11th, from 9:30-10:45am PST.

The title of the retreat is “O, Come Let Us Adore Him” and the presenter will be Father Sebastian White, O.P., Editor-in-Chief of the Magnificat, and Editor of the The Magnificat Adoration Companion.  Father Sebastian will share his thoughts and insights on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.  There will be time at the end for discussion.

****To request to register, please send an email to: bfacld.events@gmail.com. ***

This retreat sounds like a wonderful opportunity to meet Fr. Sebastian, especially since many of us enjoy reading the Magnificat. It is also a great opportunity to discuss the importance of Adoration. We have been encouraging all our members to increase their time in Adoration. When we spend time with Jesus we obtain transformative graces for ourselves, our loved ones, Church and world. We also console the Heart of Jesus, who sits alone in the tabernacle, watching the door, hoping for someone to visit Him. 

May God always keep you in His Grace,

Denise

Praying for Souls in the Prison of Purgatory Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. During the month of November, we are reminded once again of the privilege to assist our loved ones and all our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in Christ. These are days filled with faith in believing that the souls of our beloved, who are still being deprived of the vision of God, may speedily attain the joy of Eternal Life through our prayers and sacrifices. We hold the keys to help open the gate of heaven for them since they can no longer help themselves. To the apostle of Mercy, Saint Maria Faustina, Jesus has revealed this mystery…Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.The treasury of the Church that Christ speaks about is the spiritual goods of the communion of saints: “the infinite value, which can never be exhausted, which Christ’s merits have before God.” And, the Church, by virtue of the power of binding and loosing granted her by Jesus Christ, has the authority to open this treasury of the merits of Christ and the saints so that we may obtain from the Father the remission of the temporal punishments due to sins (CCC 1474-1479). We have the power to bring relief to the Holy Souls who are being purified by gaining indulgence for them. Here are the different ways we can do that:During the month of November: Each day, we can receive plenary indulgence to apply to a particular soul by visiting a cemetery and pray (even mentally if one is unable to so physically) for the departed. This is an exceptional decree that is being granted to us by the Apostolic Penitentiary due to COVID.  Throughout the year we can also gain plenary indulgence for souls by:Eucharistic Adoration. “Visit the Blessed Sacrament for adoration lasting at least a half hour.”Praying the Rosary. “Devoutly recite the Marian Rosary in a church or oratory, or in a family, or at gatherings of baptized ChristiansReading or listening to Sacred Scriptures for at least a half an hour; if the time is less, the indulgence will be partial.Pray the Stations of the Cross.We may choose who the indulgence applies to: either ourselves or to a holy soul in purgatory. Fulfill all these three conditions:Go to confessions.Receive Holy Communion.Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father. One Our Father and one Hail Mary fully satisfies this.Over all, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the most efficacious means of alleviating the suffering of our deceased loved ones. A novena of masses will be offered at 8:00 a.m. in our Monastery Chapel for all our beloved departed from November 13, 2021 to November 21, 2021.Please join us in offering prayers and sacrifices for all the Holy Souls by mailing us the form at the end of this blog with the names of your loved ones whom you wish for us to especially remember during the month. In remembering our deceased loved ones, we are filled with hope that we too may join them one day and together we shall know the goodness of Our Father as we encounter His deep love and mercy for us.
